FIGHTING FIRE WA FER.
The Contest Over tho Issuing OF Liquor
Licenses.

1ho contest over the Issuing OF Liquor
Licenses.
The trouble In regard to Issuing liquor
licenses seems still unsettled, and there is
reason to believe that instead OF nearing the
end the contest is only commenced. Many
business men who have for years conducted
orderly establishments and complied with
law in regard to shaping their application
for license suddenly and unexpectedly find
that their application has been rejected and
cannot obtain any satisfactory explanation
from the commission for the adverse &C.
ton taken IN their case. II Is evident that
they expected to be called upon not only
by the applicant, but others In his behalf,
and have anticipated such action by max
ing the following order and having It pla-
carded around the District buildings:
When an application for liquor license has
been rejected by the com mmlssloners the same
will not be reconsideTed upon the same show
ing, nor purely upon cumulative evidence. To
obtain such reconsideration written motion
ofcommissioners, clearly setting forth the new
and independent facts or reasons upon which
review Is asked, with all the evidence in
Without the observance of the above such
licenses will not again be considered by the
commissioners.
No personal interviews with the comms.
sioners after the rejection OF an application
VIII be granted prior TO the observance OF
BY order. WILLIAM TlsDALL,
Secretary.
1t would seem from this that the llues
were being drawn very tight and strong
over the saloon keepers, aud that many OF
them are likely TO find themselves unable to
continue business In consequence OF lack
ing the requisite license. The Indications
lead TO the belief that the w. G. I. u,
which has been so increasingly aud vlgor-
ously lighting to suppress the liquor traffic
In this District, has not only got strong
foothold, but is making good progress IN the
cause; and Is backed by number OF pow
erful temperance organizations. One OF the
results OF this contest Is seen In the fact
that restaurant proprietors experience uuu-
sual difficulty IN securing the requisite
sisners OF residents ard property holders to
their applications, and the commissioners
are very exactipg In their demands.
